Guys; I'm wondering if anyone is actually using the density indicators for anything more than an indication of screen resolution?
Yesterday I saw a tweet from Reto Meier saying the Galaxy Tab is reporting itself as an HDPI device, but, because it's screen is < 170 dpi it should only be reporting itself as an mdpi device. The reason that's been given for the mis-reporting in the Google blog is that that "It looks better that way" (http://bit.ly/9u1sy5), but I'd expect it to look better claiming it's an HDPI device because of the state of mdpi-large support in many apps (http://bit.ly/aajmf9). I've put a blog post up about a the tab & another device I know that's misreporting it's density at http://bit.ly/ddvcZS, but I'd be interested to know if anyone is designing by density, or, as I suspect, most people are designing by resolution and using the density indicator as an indication of resolution. Thanks, Al. -- * Looking for Android Apps? - Try http://andappstore.com/ * ====== Funky Android Limited is registered in England & Wales with the company number 6741909.
